Figure l is a broken perspective view of a window frame and sash, the latter having my invention applied thereto. Fl 2 is a broken perspective view of a door-easing and door, showing my invention applied to the door. Fig. 3 is a detailed plan view of a door or window-sash, showi 11;: a modified application of the Weatherstrip. Fig. at shows a modification, and Fig. 5 is an end view of the same.

A represents the strip of pacl'zing' material 1 held at the edge of the window B and door C. This strip is composed of short cylindrical pieces, a (I, of cork, which may be set in undercut grooves I), made in the dooror window, as shown. in I}, or held in acasine', l), of

The edges of the casing I) are grasp and confine the blocks of cork, and thus prevent them from working out of the casin The casing D, with the packing-pieces o of cork, is held in the groove E by screws f. and

back of the casing are placed cushions or springs g, of metal or blocks of rubber, which constantly press the casing outward and force the cork blocks against the window or door casing, so as to effectually excl ude the weather. The screw f is not turned home, so that it will not interfere with the movement caused and In some instances the blocks u will he placed in the casing D, as shown in t and 5, so that the grain of the cork will stand at right angles to the frame, and so that the friction will be crosswise of the grain; and in order to lubricate the blocks a, I shall place in one or more of said blocks small pieces, 72, of graphite, as shown clearly in Fig. 4-.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. As a new article of manufacture, a weather-strip havin a compressible and an tifriction surface of cork, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a dooror window, of a weather-strip composed of blocks of cork applied to the edge of the window or door, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a door or window, of a weather-strip composed of short blocks of cork applied to the door or window, with the ends of the grain at right angles to the edge of the window or door, substantially as described.
